    Did I read correctly that auto level only works correctly with matter slicer and not the other 2? What's up with that?

    Thanks in advance. Question applies to R1 on latest software.

    Add G29 to the startup G-code

    The difference might be simply that MatterSlicer has a built-in auto-leveling feature, the others do not. As Mike said, add G29 to the startup G-Code and any slicer works with the firmware version for the R1.

    P.S. I suspect (don't use it) that the built-in version MatterSlicer has will work with the non-R1 models.

    Thank you. With that any good references for learning g code for the robo3d?

    Thank you. I found lots of stuff but wasn't sure what was best.
    Happy Friday.

    Yeah I wish it was. Not having a good day so far.

    Modify the g-code section here explains a way of doing it in other software

    M565 is an alternative method for setting the Z offset, but the value has to be negative.

    Code:
    G28                 ;Auto-home all <- should already be in the code, add the rest after
    M565 Z-1.0          ;Set a 1.0 offset
    G29                 ;Run autolevel sequence
    
    I prefer the G1 method because it's simple and makes sense. The 565 command is a little more direct however.
